| Abstract | The French artist Orlan between 1990 and 1993 had her face re-figured in reference to five Western art history icons. These re-figurations were carried out in a series of nine surgeries entitled Reincarnation of Saint ORLAN.1 2 She has launched a radical revolution in terms of the conception of identity; however, there are also misgivings in response to her claim that 'skin is a mask of strangeness, and by refiguring my face, I feel I'm actually taking off a mask' (Prosser 61). Reflecting Orlan's concept of skin as a mask to the works of Nina Arsenault and BREYER P-ORRIDGE, I explore how the resistence to performative power is brought about during the negotiation with this mask. |
